📍 Myrtle Beach has more golf courses than you can count — but the real story is how former tourists are becoming full-time residents, and how hoteliers are adapting.
On this #NoVacancyNews, I speak with Patrick Norton, CMO of Brittain Resorts & Hotels, about how they’re navigating market shifts, driving demand, and building loyalty in one of the country’s fastest growing cities.
Here’s what you’ll take away: • Why #MyrtleBeach’s growth is a blessing and a challenge • How Brittain is investing in renovations and F&B to attract locals and tourists alike • What “drawbridge tourists” are — and why they matter • Creative ways to compete without dropping rates • Why email is still the king of marketing • How micro-influencers and #GenZ staff are changing the game
🎧 Bonus: Patrick shares how a simple contest for “Vacation for Life” helped generate millions in new contacts and fans.
